Advantages of Investment in Solar Farms

in Thailand

What is a solar farm?

A solar farm is a large electrical power generation plant that uses
solar energy as energy source. In Thailand, the ministry of energy
has a promotion program in which a solar farm can sell electricity
to utilities (MEA, PEA, EGAT) at a special tariff.
Tariff Price of Solar Farm in Thailand:
About 11 Baht/kWh = Normal Tariff + Adder
where
normal Tariff = about 3.3 Baht/kWh with annual increase rate
(no limitation of Years),
adder
=8.0 Baht/kWh for 10 Years

Advantages of Investment in Solar Farms

in Thailand

1.

Large income according to the VSPP Promotion Program under 15

Years Alternative Energy Master Plan of Thailand.
2 Corporate
2.
C
t ttax, iimportt d
duty
t are waved
d by
b BOI Program.
P
3. Investment is required at the construction period only. Very small
O&M expenses.
4 No
4.
N ffuell costt , b
because uses only
l solar
l light.
li ht
5. No fuel. No need to worry about fuel.
6. Marketing
g is not necessary,
y because long
g term contract of PPA is
signed between solar farm and MEA, PEA, EGAT.
7. Buyer is MEA, PEA, EGAT., and ministry of energy with high price.
8. Least risk. Solar modules have long lifetime more than 30 years,
normally warranty 20-25 years.
9. Welcomed by local people. No pollution. Environmental friendly
technology CDM
technology.
10. Proven technology.

Advantages of Investment in Solar Farms

in Thailand

Privileges from BOI for Solar Farm Projects

Exemption of Import Duty of equipments and materials,

materials
Exemption of Corporate tax 100% for the first 8 Years period
and another 50% for another 5 Years period.
